submitted to it by the Village or the applicant pursuant to the provisions
of Article 12-B of the General Municipal Law, Article XVI of the County
Government Law of Nassau County, or any other law, rule, or regulation,

Upon application to the Board of Trustees, such doubling of the fee may be reduced by the Board of Trustees, upon a showing that such work was so minor that the doubling of the fees would be so substantially out of proportion to the additional work to the Department that it would amount to an unwarranted penalty, or that the performance of such work prior to the issuance of the requisite permit was reasonably necessary to save life or property.

In such case, the Building Inspector may, at his or her discretion, employ an architect or engineer to examine the plans. The amount by which the cost of such examination, not exceeding 1 1/3% of the estimated construction cost, is in excess of 1/2 of the permit fee required by § 84-28 shall be added to such permit fee and paid by the applicant before the permit shall be issued.
(18)
There shall be no additional charge for the review of revised
plans when such revisions have been made solely in response to comments
by the Building Department to address missing, incorrect, or unclear
information on the plans, which is or may be required and/or contrary
to building, zoning, health, fire, environmental, or other pertinent
regulations, or is otherwise necessary for the Building Department
to properly understand and establish what is proposed by the plans,
or is otherwise required by the Building Department. However, if,
after two resubmissions of plans, any request for the same or additional
corrections or clarifications has been made and there has not been
compliance with such request, an additional permit fee equal to 10%
of the original permit fee shall be paid at the time of each resubmission
until after a submission with such correction or clarification is
provided.
